What Type of Career in BA Would I Qualify For? Online Courses Needed?
I've been looking into the UiPath Automation Business Analyst course (or maybe something similar if anyone can recommend) to either work remote or in person as I am in a currently changing my career (age 36). I use basic forms of AI for general research but the future of it is getting more and more appealing to me. I have experience running small businesses for the last 10 years. It's nothing crazy and I don't have a degree or anything (60 credit hour or so) but for the first 5 years I ran a music education facility (all in person) and I started with absolutely nothing.
I learned the business model and created the entire policy and operational procedures. I also hired and trained the right team, used software, CRM, and marketing tools provided to turn profitable within 1 year of being open. The last 5 years, I represented myself in the music industry and grew my own professional business from 25k/year up to about 60K/year in 25'. The part of the industry that I am in has not seen a significant wage increase since I started 5 years ago. I am hitting the ceiling and the only real determining factor to earn more is based on a lottery type system rather than merit or pure skill and aptitude.
Is there online coursework that would allow me to obtain a reputable certification that would allow me to enter this field or something similar? Would you recommend I look in a different area based on my experience and education level? I feel like a lot of companies also require experience, but I don't know where to start with that.
I am not looking to make bank, but something I can do to bring in minimum 60K/year that I can float on for a while to see if I like it and then grow into something bigger with more experience. Thanks!
